Alber Elbaz, the Lanvin designer who never met a floppy bowtie he didn’t like, confirmed on Friday that he’s creating a collection for H&M, arriving in some 200 locations on November 23 (via WWD). Though Elbaz is likely not the sorta guy who will ever paw through a bin of $12.99 ring-neck T-shirts at the store with slurpee in hand, the collab is certainly one of the most intriguing to come out of H&M. Be on the lookout for the collection in a web video to be released on Nov. 2. Until then, here’s Elbaz discussing the project, assuring Lanvinites that it’s “not a project about dress for less. I think that I loved the idea that H&M was going luxury, rather than Lanvin is going public.” —Krista Jennings
